    Useful lesson, as always, Emma!
    You know, what I appreciate of your lessons more is that IMHO your suggestions go beyond the mere study of English language.
    They're wider.
    Especially for what concerns student's behaviours. Speaking about creating habits, we often say "I have no time for this", because of work, family, hobbies, whatever...
    There is exactly where we have to change our mind! Getting out of the comfort zone IS the key. Hard but true.
    If you want to get something you never had, you have to do something you never did.
    Thanks, especially for your (indirect) motivational coaching too! ;-)

    I feel like my accent doesn't come naturally. When I hear myself, I think it sounds as if I'm trying way too hard to imitate a native speaker's accent.
    Edit: 3 Years later I still feel that way, but I no longer care bc native speakers apparently like the sound of "exotic" accents like mine lmao

      sometimes people tend to speak too clearly and put stress on wrong syllables in words
      listen to lots of podcast from native speakers and see whch syllable they stress in each word and also the same syllable may not be stressed even its in the same word
      listen to each word in different contexts
      some people mix many accents together so if you are aiming for american you should be properly pronouncing r on all your words and domt frequently switch

    Hi Emma!
    What irritates me the most about my accent is that some of the words are difficult for me to pronounce correctly. When I'm talking with my college friends, I feel awkward because some of them can barely understand what I'm saying. English is my second language, followed by Arabic.

      You can actually do it. It just needs a lot of practice. I had been hating my tongue for not cooperating with me when I speak English when I realized I need to do something with it. So I started to read anything out loud and record myself. In that way, I can hear myself, I can correct my stress, intonations and pronunciation. And now I can feel my accent getting better and better everyday. Nakayanan ko sis, kaya mo rin yan!

      Monica, that is a brilliant strategy (and attitude)! Of course, it is a challenging time - for Chinese, Italians, Koreans, Iranians, (and others will soon join)... But your attitude will help you to get through the worst of it. "every cloud has a silver lining" - I'm glad you are making the most of your time to practice!

    My biggest problem is that every sentence I make feels like a tongue twister. It is not like I don't how to pronounce the words, but I struggle a lot with putting them together. I sometimes have to give 3 tries to pronounce one word in the sentence until I pronounce it right, when I wouldn't really have any difficulties if I tried to pronounce the word/phrase alone without using it in a sentence.

    At some point my german accent is too strong. I want to sound more british. Also I often mess up with fluency because I dont combine the word endings with the next word. Especially sounds from an S to an TH is very hard to make. With this... is this ... sounds horrible. And last but not least. I often switch between accents or mix it with wrong pronounciation. This often comes from my work where I hear a lot of different accents and also wrong pronunciations.

But one of my biggest challenges is 'PRONUNCIATION' My accent sounds too spanish (my native language). So I'm putting special emphasis in the pronunciation, as you say 'practice' is the clue and I agree with you.
    Keep doing such a wonderful job!!
